Which intake did you use, Edelbrock usually sends a universal bracket with their intakes. Of course I found out mine was missing from the box after I modified the original V6 bracket to fit.

I had to drill a 1/8" plate in three places to get it in the right position and bolt onto the intake. Patience is a virtue on these things.

I am using a Hollister Manifold w/ a Holly 4110 Carb. No plates or access. were in the box...

Ya, Patience is key... :-)

The cable slipped off on my way to work this morning... Oh well back to the drill press to make a new cable holder... The good news is that the motor is running strong and idle got me home with no worries...
